SJG3907 Munchkin Quest with all the promos 49.95 each.
The Munchkin Quest Gold Piece can be spent during the game every other turn. It's worth 100 gold pieces, which can help the lucky Munchkin buy that ever-so-needed level.The Coaster Room looks like a Munchkin Quest room tile, but is actually a drink coaster. Depending on which room your glass is resting on - either the Tavern or the Lab - sipping the drink itself grants special bonuses. Promo Set 1 contains a new room tile: the Troll Booth on one side and the Healing Fountain on the other. And since every room needs a monster, we've included the classic Troll. Filling out the sheet is everything you need to add both to Munchkin Quest - rules, links, and even the monster's card!

After all, tomorrow might be the beginning of a long, cold, (nuclear) winter! Reiner Knizia's Zombiegeddon is a fast-paced, perfect-information, strategy game. Each player spends the first half of the game rushing around the board collecting supplies and trying to stop your pesky neighbors from taking stuff that is rightfully yours. The second half of the game is spent trying to survive. Sure there is some good stuff around, but it certainly isn't plentiful and let's face it, everyone is still trying to take it before you do!
